SUSTAINABILITY LAB@S+A | “Modular Construction in the Context of Sustainability.”
23/11/2023 | 05:30pm
In this session, modular construction will be debated, concerning building structures using prefabricated modules assembled off-site and then transported to the construction site for final assembly. It's seen as a sustainable option due to reduced material waste, optimized construction time, and potentially lower energy consumption. Modular buildings often utilize eco-friendly materials and can be designed for energy efficiency and recycling. Additionally, their flexibility allows for repurposing or reassembling, reducing environmental impact and contributing to sustainability efforts.
